In the Shane Watts riding class I took he pretty much poo pooed the idea of the brake slide for most situations. His views were 9 out of 10 times you're not gonna get it right and spend allot of excess energy correcting either the under or over slide. In racing conditions it's super hard to do it consistently where every corner is different.

Highly recommend his class by the way. Very informative and a ton of fun for 2 days. And oh what a treat it is to watch him ride. He makes everything look soooooo easy.
